Searching info on my grandfather
Hi........I have been on genforum searches for a long time and then I found that there are a lot of De Palmas out there. I never knew my grandfather but this is the information I have collected thus far:His name was Attilio De Palma and I think he came from the Calabria section of Italy.His birthdate is March 8th 1903 and he died in March of 1981. His first marriage was to my grandmother, Maiden name Grindatto or Grindateau. She was born in France in Feb.1902. This was in Buffalo, Ny. where he also played violin for Buffalo symphony Orch. They had a daughter (my mother} Cornelia aka.Jean De Palma. He disappeared when my mother was 2 years old about 1920. There are not many first names by the name of Attilio. If this is the right Attilio, he supposedly died in Philadelphia, Pa. Anyone having some kind of information please let me know either on genforum or my E-Mail. Thanking you........Antoinette
